Chapter 1

Someone suddenly pointed with a trembling hand at the large screen on the company building and shrieked, "Look! I think that's Nathan's final video before his death!"Hearing that, Dad scowled and turned to the screen, where a video was playing. Disgust was written all over his face."Nathan's already dead, and he's still trying to cause trouble?" The crowd was watching the scene unfold and didn't care how ugly things could get."Even after Mr. and Mrs. Yeager reunited with their biological son, they never once mistreated their adoptive son, Nathan Yeager. They treated him the same as before.""No one expected him to be this jealous. Since childhood, Nick had been wandering around out there with a heart condition and couldn't handle any stress in the first place. "But Nathan kept picking on Nick every day. No wonder Mr. and Mrs. Yeager grew to hate Nathan more and more.""Two months ago, Nathan announced that he was cutting ties with his parents, and they've even signed an agr

Chapter 2

In the video, Mom slapped me, sending my head to one side. My cheek instantly swelled, and some color returned to my previously pale face. When Nick was brought home back then, Mom and Dad found out he had a heart condition, so they were prepared to drain the entire family fortune to get him a heart transplant. When I found out what they were up to, I did everything I could to stop them."Mom, I've been your son for the past 20 years. If you spend all your money on his surgery, how am I supposed to live comfortably in the future?" I shrieked at the top of my lungs, knocking everything off the table onto the floor. I looked at Dad, but he kept Nick behind him, comforting him softly. He didn't even look at me. That day, I left home and signed the agreement to cut ties with Mom and Dad. No one noticed that my retreating figure trembled slightly as I walked away in the video or that I was much thinner than before. The scene shifted to me arriving at a press conference Dad had or

"Hey, once I'm dead, remember to play these videos on the big screen at the company building. Even in death, I still want to mess with them."In the video, I was sitting across from a woman. She came across as elegant, her dark eyes not leaving me for a moment. If one took a closer look, they would notice a faint glimmer of tears. The woman was Jenna Thompson, the daughter of the richest man in Taloville. She was my childhood sweetheart too. "You said you'd ruin my dad's company. Why hasn't it gone bankrupt yet? Have you forgotten what you promised me?"In the video, my eyes were deeply sunken, and I was nothing but skin and bones. Those vicious words carried an eerie undertone.Jenna's eyes were red as she stared at me. After a long time, she finally said hoarsely, "Okay."Only then did I sigh in relief. Once I got home, my phone pinged with a message. It was a voice message from Dad. "The hospital just found a matching heart for Nick. If you apologize to me now, I'll act

Chapter 4

The onlookers cursed even louder than before."How could Nathan be so disgusting? He pretended to be sick and tricked his dad into going over, yet he refused to let him in. He even said he was looking for his real father. How can someone be so cruel?""The Yeagers really wasted those years raising him. Where did this guy even come from? I'm glad he's dead. Later, I'm going to celebrate that the world is rid of a menace like him!"The crowd erupted into chaos. Some onlookers even started picking up trash and throwing it at my body.In an instant, the scene went out of control.With a frown, Dad stared at the chaos before him, his eyes showing no emotion.Just then, Jenna hopped out of her black Bentley. Seeing my body covered with trash, she screamed for them to stop."Get out of my way! Nathan had his heart taken out so Nick could be saved. He even jumped off the building today to save his dad's company. Since you don't know the truth, get lost!"At Jenna's words, Dad's eyes wi

Chapter 5

Dad screamed, "All of you, get over here right now! You were the one who cursed Nathan the most. My family won't let you get away with this!"At his words, several onlookers' expressions instantly turned ugly. "What Nathan did before did make us misunderstand him. We've already cursed him out. Now that your son is dead, you're only coming to settle scores afterward? What were you even doing earlier? What are you acting for now?" "Oh my. He's definitely overwhelmed after everything he went through today. If you ask me, it's for the best that Nathan's dead. "After all, Nathan lived the life of a wealthy heir before the Yeagers reunited with their biological son. Ever since Nathan fell ill and Nick came back, no one really saw Nathan as a Yeager anymore. "You had no idea. I have a friend who knew Nathan, and she told me he had been through a lot this year. The maids treat people differently depending on their status. "Once they realized Nathan was out of favor, they were quick

Chapter 6

Whenever I saw Nick like that, I felt an overwhelming sense of guilt, but I had no choice.Now that Nick had received my heart, I could finally atone for everything I had done to him. The police already had the scene under control, and my body had been taken away.After receiving the news, Mom and Nick sped all the way back here. Seeing that Dad was on the verge of a breakdown, Mom came to comfort him, her eyes red. Nick also went over and leaned against Dad. "Honey, if Nate were still here, he wouldn't want to see you so devastated. He must've done all those things just to make us misunderstand him."Nate's a good kid. He wouldn't blame you, me, or Nick." At that point, Mom also broke down. She and Dad collapsed into each other's arms, sobbing. "Nate, how could you be so silly? Even if we weren't related, you'll always be our son. Why wouldn't we look after you when you were ill? "How could you be so foolish? You didn't even tell us anything…" Before Mom even finished speak

Chapter 7

"You only came to us after Nate died. I refuse to believe you didn't know where he was all this time, yet you just let him die like that. "Now that he's dead, you've come here asking us for compensation? Aren't you shameless?" My biological parents remained unfazed. "Don't bring up all that nonsense just to change the subject. That's completely irrelevant. You took our son away for 20 years. "Back then, after we had him, the nurse couldn't find him at all. We lived without our son for 20 years. "Shouldn't you compensate us for that? Your family's really wealthy, so what's a million dollars to you? We don't even have our son anymore."If we don't have money to fall back on, who's going to look after us? I don't care. No matter what, you're paying us today!"With that, they threw themselves on the ground and started making a scene.Some of the onlookers recognized my biological parents. "These two are notorious local scoundrels. They always laze around all day and do nothing

Chapter 8

"Nick, I didn't actually mean all the things I said to you back then. I hope you won't take it to heart. You, Mom, and Dad are amazing people. I hope you'll have a good life together."Toward the end of the video, I had already broken down in tears. Even the onlookers were covering their faces, sobbing nonstop.By then, Mom and Dad were already holding each other, crying so hard that they could barely breathe. Nick stood next to them, holding their hands and staring tearfully at the screen. Nick muttered, "I'd never hold it against you. Why would I ever do that? We were accidentally switched at birth, but over the past 20 years, you've been so good to Mom and Dad, and I'm really grateful for that. Why would I ever hold it against you?"The people who had been watching the drama covered their faces too. "Back then, I was the one who cursed Nathan the most. I really couldn't understand how anyone could be so ungrateful. "His parents had raised him for over 20 years, yet he ins

Chapter 9

"I never thought something like this would ever happen to me. Nathan's always been so healthy. He even went for regular medical checkups every year. "How could he be diagnosed with kidney failure just like that? I even thought of donating one of my kidneys to him, but we weren't a match. "We couldn't even find a suitable donor in time, and his chances of survival kept dwindling more and more…"Jenna was so choked up that she could barely speak. She had always been a strong woman, yet tears kept streaming down her face.Mom stepped forward and patted her shoulder. "Oh, Jenna. No one wanted this to happen. At this point, lamenting over it won't change anything. All we can do is carry on with Nathan in our hearts. That way, he can rest in peace."Dad stood nearby, staring at my coffin in a daze like a lifeless puppet. His gaze was unsettling. Not wanting to see Dad like this, Mom sighed before leading him back into the house. Once she was gone, he was the only one at home. He wal
